Huawei’s P20 event is still a couple of weeks away, but apparently one of the devices that’ll be shown there has already made its way into some stores.

Videos that show the Huawei P20 Lite have made their way online today. HDblog.it say that they were able to buy the P20 Lite from a store, so of course they plunked down €369 ($ 455 USD) and unboxed it.

Meanwhile, a video spotted by AndroidWorld.it shows the Huawei P20 Lite in a retail store in Italy. The phone is attached to a security device, but we can still get a good look at its design.

According to these leaks, the Huawei P20 Lite is packing a 5.84-inch 2280×1080 display with a notch, an octa-core Kirin 659 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. It’s got a dual rear camera setup with 16MP and 2MP sensors, a 16MP front camera, USB-C, and 3,000mAh battery. There’s a rear fingerprint reader and Android 8.0 with Huawei’s EMUI 8.0 user interface, too.

In addition to the P20 Lite, Huawei is expected to launch the standard P20 and the P20 Pro.

As for why the app is now launching in countries like the U.S. and U.K., Facebook said, “We’ve seen that even in some developed markets people can have lower connectivity, so we want to make sure everyone has the option to use this app if they want.”

While Facebook Lite is meant for users with slow connections, it could also be a nice app for folks that just want a slimmed down, speedy Facebook experience. That’s because the app offers many of the same features as the standard Facebook app, like posting status updates and photos, RSVPing to events, commenting on posts, and following people and businesses.

Facebook launched the Facebook Lite app in 2015 for use in developing countries with poor connectivity. However, people all over the world were sideloading the Lite app as an alternative to the notorious bloated regular app. You don’t have to mess around with sideloads anymore, though. Facebook Lite is now available in more places like the US.

Facebook Lite includes all the basic Facebook features like the feed, posting updates, photo sharing, events, and notifications.

The Facebook Lite app for Android has amassed more than 200 million users since its launch in 2015. It was created to provide a better experience on lower-end devices with slow data connections in developing markets, just like Messenger Lite. And also like the company’s chat app, Facebook Lite is now headed to some developed markets as well. Expect to see it become available to download in the Play Store today. That is, if you are in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, or New Zealand. “We’ve seen that even in some developed markets people can have lower…
